Stormwater Management THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO Stormwater Management 2 | THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Introduction Welcome consultants, civil and application engineers, planners and users of stormwater systems around the world. We have created this detailed guide to outline the many ways in which we can help you resolve some of the most challenging scenarios related to stormwater management, flood prevention and relief. In our view this is achieved through smart pump station design, innovative solutions, state of the art equipment and capacity utilization with network optimization. For more than 60 years, our engineers have resolved issues ranging from compact, cost-efficient pump sump station design, correct pumping duty conditions and monitoring and control requirement, to data collection and analysis, as well as tailor-made stormwater projects. Some examples of their work are highlighted throughout this document. The objective of sharing all this information is to give you answers and guidance into how to maximize a community’s capacity to manage stormwater. This is our way to contribute to eliminate the danger to people, property and the environment that severe stormwater events can cause. We hope you find this resource useful and welcome your feedback.

Although modern cities have the necessary infrastructure in place to control the resulting stormwater, often the systems they have in place are outdated and not designed for a long service life. Many cities continue to operate conveyance structures, which contain parts that are multiple decades old; implemented before planners became aware of the issues of climate change and rapid urban expansion. Today, urban growth and increasingly intense rainfall events cause these systems to be overloaded, resulting in frequent and serious flooding. Moving forward, stormwater control infrastructure will be required to live up to the challenges of population growth and climate change. It will also need to function properly in a world in which urban densification will make less space available for the implementation of stormwater control solutions. From an engineering perspective, stormwater assets will need to be considered in a broader context. Copenhagen is a prime example of this. In the last decade, Denmark’s capital city and home to over 1.2 million people has suffered flood damage in excess of one billion Euros.3 As a result, the city brought together specialists from many different disciplines to develop a 20-year plan aimed at improving water resilience. Copenhagen’s plan integrates a wide variety of solutions for flood protection and recreational stormwater usage; it also includes measures such as building blue and green streets and parks, constructing rain gardens and using roads as open waterways for extreme stormwater relief. The infrastructure needed for urban stormwater control is significant in terms of both scale and expense, and it can’t be replaced on a whim. It is built for a century of intended service life and requires long-term planning. Meanwhile, continuous upgrading and refining of this infrastructure will be critical to solving acute issues on the fly without undermining long-term planning goals. This requires an in-depth understanding of every aspect of your stormwater control system, from the technical details of complex system interactions, to knowledge of the socio-economic and public perception implications. The only way for modern cities to meet present and future water productivity, water quality and water resilience needs is to implement the best available technologies in a resilient, long-term planning context.

In cities and other urban spaces, rainfall collects rapidly and becomes runoff as the impervious surfaces of streets, paved areas and rooftops prevent it from infiltrating into the ground. Rainfall events also impact bodies of water, such as rivers and lakes, causing their water levels to rise periodically. Since many urban centers are built in the vicinity of these bodies of water, measures must be taken to prevent them from flooding. Stormwater management refers to the way in which these flows, and their potential pollutants (sand, chlorides, organic matter and even large objects), can best be managed using a wide range of solutions. It covers a broad spectrum of activities, from planning and measurement, to monitoring and control, as well as pumping and treatment. It includes infrastructure such as gutters, conduits and trenches, in addition to detention tanks, large and small pump stations and treatment plants. Continue reading to discover what successful stormwater management looks like in urban spaces, and how the right solution can help you effectively improve water resilience in any environment. 9 Part One Examining Stormwater Management in Dense Urban Environments Water is a vital resource that is deeply integrated into urban life. 10 | THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO STORMWATER MANAGEMENT In spite of this, urbanization can radically change the flow of water and create a range of adverse effects, such as frequent, severe floods and changes in water quality. Around the world, urban water managers are constantly dealing with these issues, as well as other new and unprecedented challenges posed by stormwater events. Investing in an efficient stormwater collection system, applying best management practices (BMPs) and implementing the right pumping storage and treatment infrastructures can help these individuals protect their communities from evolving natural hazards. Sponge Cities To accommodate rapid urban migration and development, some countries are turning to sponge city initiatives. The sponge city concept proposes the implementation of sustainable and ecological flood control methods with minimal footprint and energy consumption. It employs ecological principles, landscape architecture approaches and key techniques of infiltration, pumping, storage, purification, utilization and discharge. These techniques are applied through best management practices (BMPs) and green stormwater infrastructures (GSI) with low impact, as decided by each municipality. One of the most ambitious sponge city programs is being developed in China, which launched pilot cases in 16 different cities in 2015 and plans to roll the scheme out nationally. To assist in sponge city development, the Chinese government provides annual funding to qualified cities and municipalities across provinces.4 By 2020, China hopes that 80% of its urban areas will be able to absorb and re-use at least 70% of rainwater.5 4 http://chinawaterrisk.org/about/ 11 5 http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/17/asia/china-sponge-cities/index.html Part One Examining Stormwater Management in Dense Urban Environments A | SELECTING THE RIGHT STORMWATER CONTROL SOLUTION COMBINED SEWER SYSTEM VERSUS SEPARATE SEWER SYSTEM Begin your evaluation of urban stormwater control solutions by identifying which type of sewer system your community has in place. Sewer systems can either be combined or separate, and each type comes with different risks and benefits. Combined sewers, for example, are designed to collect both wastewater and stormwater through a single pipe system. Separate sewers consist of two isolated pipe systems–one for wastewater and another for stormwater. In a separate system, stormwater is conveyed to a designated outfall and commonly discharged directly into the receiving water. In a combined system, the flow of stormwater and wastewater is directed to a treatment plant prior to being released to natural sources. The figures below show the potentially severe environmental consequences of a combined system overflow. In the event of heavy precipitation or snow meltdown, large quantities of mixed and untreated stormwater and wastewater may be released into nearby bodies of water. Use a comprehensive review of your community’s current sewer system as the foundation for making decisions regarding efficient stormwater collection, detention or retention, transport to a treatment plant and release. Combined Sewer System Combined Sewer Overflow (CSS) (CSO) 12 | SELECTING THE RIGHT STORMWATER CONTROL SOLUTION STORMWATER DISINFECTION Rain events can cause combined sewer overflows (CSOs) when conveyance systems or treatment plants are overwhelmed by stormwater. In addition to polluted runoff, CSOs contain pollutants and pathogens from raw sewage that pose

  • Maintaining Your Detention Basin: a Guidebook for Private Owners in Clermont County
    Maintaining Your Detention Basin: A Guidebook for Private Owners in Clermont County A well maintained detention basin BASINS Your detention basin is a storm water best management practice (BMP) designed to tempo- INTRODUCTION rarily capture and hold storm water runoff during periods of heavy rain, and slowly release this flow over a period of one or two days so it minimizes flooding and streambank erosion problems downstream. They also help remove sediments from storm water runoff, which helps improve the quality of local streams. Like most other things, a detention basin may not function properly or it may fail prematurely if not properly maintained. Once a detention basin fails, it is often very expensive to correct. Many detention basins are located on private property, including parcels of land owned and maintained by a homeowners association (HOA). Local governments do not have the au- thority to maintain components of the storm sewer system on private property, including detention basins. Rather, these are the responsibility of the lot owner to maintain. Whether you are an individual property owner, a homeowner’s association representative, or a residential/commercial property manager, this Guidebook will help answer questions and provide you with instructions for basin maintenance activities. Routine maintenance will prolong the life of your detention basin, improve its appearance, help prevent flooding and property damage, and enhance local streams and lakes. WHAT ARE DETENTION BASINS AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? When land is altered to build homes and other developments, the natural system of trees and plants over relatively spongy soil is replaced with harder surfaces like sidewalks, streets, decks, roofs, driveways and even lawns over compacted soils.

The purpose of this chapter is to explain the City’s policy regarding the ownership, design, construction, and maintenance responsibility for detention basins. Detention basins are used to collect and hold stormwater runoff for a period of time to compensate for increases in stormwater runoff caused by reduced ground surface perviousness due to activities such as paving or building construction. B. Detention basins historically range in size from backyard detention provided by swales, to large regional detention ponds. Detention basins may be wet or dry bottomed. Residential backyard or sideyard single lot detention is not allowed. Construction of detention for individual lots of less than 5 acres is not recommended; alternate methods such as payment in lieu of detention or one basin for the entire subdivision or development are preferred. 23.01 ADMINISTRATION A. This chapter applies to detention basins within the City limits and the 1-1/2 mile extra territorial jurisdiction. B. Detention basin construction is required for certain conditions by the City of Champaign Stormwater Management Regulations. C. Detention basin design shall be reviewed by the City of Champaign through either of the following: 1. Subdivision plan review 2. Grading and drainage plan review 3. Alternate construction plan review (typically public improvements) 23.02 STANDARDS The following standards apply to detention basins: A. Referenced Standards: Design standards for detention basin design and construction shall comply with the provisions of the following, unless otherwise stated by this manual.
